    They're not very difficult. I didn't want anyone still concentrating on cracking them while the game is on tomorrow nite.

    All Melbourne teams should have a Robbie Flower in them, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

    Quarter time scores. Team 1 has been solved. Every players has double letters in their name. In fact, they all have TWO double letters in their name but I wasn't clever enough to work out a away to make that the true answer, with single double letters not getting over the line.

    Jjrogan, mo64, radar, LDVC and Lucifer all got it, with a special mention to Lucifer who was the only to explicitly describe how R. Robertson could be in a team of "doubles". And an extra special mention to Civil, who deliberately laid off the pace to give everyone else a chance.

     

    Team 2 we have a clubhouse leader. Team 3 we've had some early attempts, but are they correct? The fullness of time will tell.

    This thread needs to be promoted, to give us something to do in the (too) long break between Rounds 1 and 2.

    And to make it interesting, here's a team made up entirely of Melbourne players, past and present. Everyone is in exactly the right position, even though some never played that role in their life. What am I looking for?

    FB: May  Elshaugh  Lord

    HB: Bourke  Osborne  Usher

    C: Richards  Neal-Bullen Emselle

    HF: Dixon  Elliott  McDonald

    FF: Oliver  Neitz  Schwarz 

    R: Petracca  Robertson  Eishold

    I/C: Mann  Ingerson  Ellingworth  Ridley

    Sub: Salem

    (It's another team without the great Robbie Flower - but there is just no position for him in this team.)

    My PM to Mazer wouldn't send for some reason (he's blocked me?  :blink:),  but I think Team 2 is based on the jumper numbers making up the formula for Pi (3.141592 etc). 

    I've posted this publicly because at least one other Demonlander had already solved it.

    If this is correct, it would have been most appropriate of Mazer to post this quiz on Monday, which of course was "Pi Day" being 14th of March, or 3.14 in American terms.

    Look at you! You’re M.I.A. for a few days then you just waltz on in and do your usual thing of boss-level ownage. 
    And yes, I know ownage isn’t a real word, except it is now coz you. 🤨

    Some of your puns are indeed block-worthy but I have put no block on you so I can only attribute it to A.I. getting better and better.

    Who's the D'lander who "solved" it?

    The "clubhouse leader" you referred to.  You'll have to tell us who it was.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
